Reply #3: Is Labour reedemable? I doubt it very much...

To your questions:

1) I don't think so, but if the campaign group and/or "Brownites" have a spine between them now is the time to show us.

2) Depends on Euro referedum methinks, but I can't really see Labour spilling Tony's blood over much in the Queen's speeech - they campaigned on that manifesto after all.

3) Sure its possible: Blunkett is a possibility, the campaign group have said there will be a left challenge, Prezza may even stand. The frontrunner always faces problems in this sort of situation, because almost the only way they can go is down.

4) What activists? The first thing Labour has to do is get some activists back, since most of the really good ones refused to campaign this time around (or indeed left the party) on account of the Iraq War. Maybe its a regional thing, but the Labour Party activists I met here in Oxford (and I am not saying that's all of them) are apparatchiks.

5) LOL
